As long as they fit in the tight space between the radiator and a/c
condenser (and grille) I am ok.

I am restoring Shelby Dakota #1238 (red) and have discovered that the fans
do not work. It appears to be the fan motors. Does anyone know of where I
can get replacements or which after market fans work best?<<

I'm pretty sure Dodge abandoned those parts years ago. That being said, the
parts aren't unattainable. I would check ebay and some other sites to see
what's out there. Also, a lot of guys with Dakota R/Ts are using Lincoln
MKVIII fans, Grand Cherokee fans, and Taurus SHO fans with great results. I
had some Flexalite pushers on my 88 w/360 swap and they kept that engine
plenty cool. As much as keeping it original is awesome, it may not be in the

cards. =(
